Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Both euphoria and exhaustion are normal feelings after birth. Fatigue after birth is not indicative of a problem.
Rationale 2: The nurse should not imply that a mother's emotional response is not expected.
Rationale 3: Both euphoria and exhaustion are normal feelings after birth. Fatigue after birth is not indicative of a problem.
Rationale 4: The patient might want to be with her newborn, and the nurse should not encourage unnecessary separation of mother and child.

Answer to Question 2
